Matt Tomich is the president of Energy Vision (EV). Since joining EV in 2012, his focus has been on the advancement of sustainable transportation solutions, especially for difficult to decarbonize heavy-duty trucks and buses. Much of his work at EV has looked at the production and use of ultra-low-carbon waste-based renewable natural gas (also known as RNG or biomethane) as a vehicle fuel. This has included research and writing on major RNG initiatives in the U.S. in the dairy, landfill gas, wastewater, residential and commercial waste sectors – research published on Energy Vision’s website and various other government, industry and media outlets.
Tomich has co-authored six Energy Vision reports, developed and led the successful coordination of Energy Vision’s various regional, national and international education, outreach and advisory initiatives, including 20 “Power of Waste” workshops in the US and Canada and numerous collaborations with government and industry.
His research and writing have appeared in numerous publications, including GreenBiz, The Hill, TriplePundit and BioCycle, and he has presented on sustainable waste management and low-carbon transportation at multiple venues across the U.S., as well as in Canada, China and South Africa. In 2015, he was named one of New York City’s Top 10 Energy Entrepreneurs by the publication Breaking Energy.
Matt earned a B.A. in Geology from Haverford College, where he studied the relationship between soil geochemistry and the concept of terroir, and an M.B.A. from Kansas State University with an emphasis on technology commercialization and entrepreneurship.
